ANSI C
Learn C from one of the
country's leading experts!
Why should I learn C?
C is the lingua franca of the computing
field. Not only is C used for a wide variety of applications,
but knowing it is helpful for learning C++, Java, and other modern
languages.
What background do I need in order to
take the course?
Previous programming experience is required,
such as a college course in programming or at least one year
of work experience as a programmer.
What is the format of the course?
The course consists of alternating lecture
and laboratory periods. After each lecture, you'll be assigned
programming exercises that reinforce the topic just covered.
Programming is done on Windows-based PCs, with one person per
machine. The instructor will be available throughout the laboratory
sessions for assistance.
What materials are included with the course?
You'll receive a binder containing copies
of the instructor's overheads. You'll also get a copy of his
book, C Programming: A Modern Approach.
Which C compiler does the course use?
We currently use Microsoft Visual C++.
However, the lectures cover only the standard features of the
C language and library, and all programs written in the laboratory
sessions will be completely portable to other compilers and operating
systems.
How long is the course?
The course is five days long. Each day
begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. Lunch breaks are one
hour long.
What topics does the course cover?
The course covers all major aspects of
C, including a discussion of new features in C99 (the latest
C standard). Topics include:
- C fundamentals
- Formatted I/O
- Expressions
- Selection statements
- Loops
- Basic types
